Acoustic Electric Guitar

Though it will depend on what type of music you play, acoustic guitar can almost always be a great addition to any live show. There are some kinds of music that it wont fit in with very well, but there are also many types that depend on it to get the perfect sound. Though you can play an acoustic in a small place and everyone will hear it, there are times when you need to amplify the sound. One of the best ways to do this is to use an acoustic electric guitar. You get the great acoustic sound you want without having to try to mike up the guitar through the sound system, which can be heard to get just right.

My husband has an acoustic electric guitar, but he doesnt use it very much any more. He used to be in a band that needed one, and he was the one that went out to buy it. Though there were a lot of different kinds of acoustic electric guitar from which to choose, he went with the one that had the best sound. This isnt always an option for some bands though. Sometimes you have to go with what you can afford, and if you only need it for a song or two, you may not want to blow big bucks to get one.

Its not just a band that might use an acoustic electric guitar. Many who are solo performers like to use one as well. Though many of them are plugged in, I do think you can get a wireless one so that you have more freedom of motion. You do have to be careful when you get close to microphones with an acoustic electric guitar though, because you may end up with feedback, just like with an electric. Its not much of an issue usually, but if you are playing in a cramped space you might have worries.

If you want to save a lot of money on an acoustic electric guitar, you can buy one used. If you only need it for a song, you really dont want to spend a lot of money to get one. You can find them almost anywhere you buy other types of guitars, and some shops will have used models that you can buy. You can also look on eBay or in your local paper for classified ads. Just make sure you plug it in and play it before you buy. You dont want to buy an acoustic electric guitar that sounds bad no matter how good the deal is you are being offered.
